Abstract

Development of the European Side Impact Dummy EUROSID-1 was completed early 1990. EEVC Working Group 9 comprehensively reviewed the lateral impact cadaver data base and have published detailed biofidelity test procedures and design targets for dummies, based on the original cadaver data. This report describes and presents the results of a large biofidelity test programme performed within the EEVC test laboratories on four samples of the EUROSID-l dummy. The results of this test programme are compared with the biofidelity targets produced by the EEVC Working Group 9.
